Oh, sick. And here I thought I was powerless. But it turns out I can bring the entire world economy to its knees just by not caring.

If Chris Chan goes to the Supreme Court, then the world is over. The rest is just end credits.

Yes, that's the other possibility, which is both frightening for its own reasons, and unlikely.

To me, this looks like three points almost in a perfect line, which is an undoubtedly common occurrence.

Take any cluster of three points. Any two are in a straight line. The third is unlikely to be on that same line by accident, and otherwise is either close to the line or not close. Neither case is interesting or unlikely. By virtue of being an identifiable cluster, the distances between (A and B) and (B and C) are bound to be similar, therefore it seems like it works be easy to find a close match to any given 3 point pattern.

I don't see anything noteworthy here.

This is scary. If Lindell's claims are true, then it's not defamation. So if they go to court, Lindell gets to present his evidence as part of his own defense. It's a horrible mistake for them to sue him. But they're not that stupid, which probably means they're just that confident that the game will be rigged in their favor. That's what's scary.

Watch out for the judge to bar any evidence that suggests the election was tampered with (on the ground of "it's sedition to question a certified election" or something). Effectively making it procedurally impossible to offer a defense,so dominion wins by default.

In a world first, a New Yorker concedes that New York isn't the entire country.

I don't understand why asymptomatic spread would ever be a thing unless there's a known incubation period.

Either you're immune (because of age/whatever, having had the disease before, having a good immune system, or taking the vaccine), or you're affected by it. My question is, why would being immune thanks to the vaccine have different implications than being immune thanks to being a child?

I dunno. I guess the non-cloudfare IP can be used for DDOSing?

Trump is undoubtedly staying away from any particular platform so that he can maximize the impact of his choice. If and when Trump moves to a new platform, that platform becomes the #2 social media platform overnight.

He has the money, he has the influence, and he has the spotlight to work closely with any platform he chooses, get the right assurances with them, and even buy a stake in the company. He has too much power, and understands negotiation too well, to spend his leverage casually.
